The coolest Pastel de Nata in Malasaña

Malasaña is one of Madrid’s liveliest neighborhoods, with its own unique blend of history, urban culture, independent shops, and nightlife. After enjoying a pastel de nata at Manteigaria on Calle de Fuencarral, be sure to:

• Stroll through Plaza del Dos de Mayo, the neighborhood’s main gathering spot and one of Madrid’s most iconic squares, where the alternative and revolutionary spirit of Malasaña’s residents is celebrated.
• Explore the alternative shops, independent bookstores, and vintage boutiques that give the area its unique character.
• Visit two of the city’s most important museums: the Museum of the History of Madrid, dedicated to the history of the Spanish capital, and the Museo Nacional del Romanticismo, a stunning space that will transport you back to the 19th century.
• Discover the home of Ratoncito Pérez, an urban treasure waiting to be found by the most observant visitors.
• Walk down Calle de Fuencarral toward Gran Vía if you’d like to extend your stroll through the downtown area.

Malasaña is meant to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, so you can better soak up its energy. Just like the first pastel de nata of the day.
